Once Upon a Time in Wonderland has unfortunately been canceled by ABC after just one season on the air.

While it is upsetting that we won’t get another season of the show, it was originally envisioned as a miniseries to bridge the gap between seasons of the main Once Upon a Time series, according to THR.

The fantasy series aired in ABC’s very troubled 8pm slot on Thursday nights where a new series has not been successful since Ugly Betty vacated the time slot back in 2009.

“The purpose of the show, to me, is to really inspire girls who don’t think they’re cool, or popular or pretty and all that, to get out there and [prove] that they can have fun and exciting lives, too,” Rebelsaid. “I think in order to do that, we have to present a very realistic version of what it’s like to be girl who looks like me and isn’t the coolest.”

It was announced during the panel that Naveen was joining the show as the villain Jafar.

It was revealed that the mission of the series will be to “to tell within this first season, a complete, close-ended story. By the end of the Season 1, this particular story will be concluded,” co-creator Adam Horowitz said (via TV Line).
